Dubrovnik Banje Beach

Just outside the Old Town (to the east), you'll find Banje beach, one of the most attractive spots during the summer. The sea is here crystal clear and the beach is made of small pebbles and sand. It offers amazing views of the City walls and Lokrum island.

Visitors can rent sun loungers and parasol but it's fairly expensive (€60 for two sun loungers and umbrella a day). The alternative is to use the section of the beach where you can lay your towel freely (south side of the beach).

There is a beach bar/restaurant where you can have a cocktail or some other drink while enjoying on the beach (or even lunch).

The Banje beach can get very crowded during the high season (July and August), so we recommend spending a day on a speed-boat trip to the secluded bays of Elaphite islands and Mljet!

In the evening Banje beach turns into a place for exiting night-out. Eastwest Beach Club located on Banje beach attracts visitors who are looking for a great time.

Within walking distance from the beach you will find Villa Dubrovnik, Hotel Excelsior and Grand Villa Argentina as well as numerous apartments.

If you are looking for a beach which is more suitable for children, you should head to Copacabana beach in Babin Kuk.
